Anti-Americanism

Anti-Americanism is the dislike or opposition to the governmental policies of the United States or the American people in general. Anti-Americanism developed as a reaction to the United States' imperialistic foreign policy during the late 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, during which the United States began to exert political and economic control over other countries. Negative views of the USA were widespread in former Soviet countries, the Middle East, North Korea, and certain European nations (notably in Spain, the United Kingdom, and France).
